Underground Art

Hooray, hooray, say mom and dad.
You wonder - wherefore are they glad?
Why 'tis that down below their pad
There's now an art space, lush and rad.
A brand new space for girl and lad
To draw, to paint, in stripe or plaid -
And keep their mess away. Not bad!

(Made from a tabletop and table-attached shelf from IKEA and tapered legs from Home Depot cut to about 22". Assembled by a crackerjack team of small children wielding power tools. After seeing that photo of the 11 month old hacking some fruit open with a machete, I decided it's never to early to start learning to keep your fingers away from sharp rotating objects.)
